Find the equation converting Kelvin temperature to Fahrenheit. 41degrees Farenheit=278.2degrees Kelvin, 86F=303.2K. What is the Farenheit temperature when it is 180 degrees Kelvin? If anyone can help, it would be great.

You don't convert Kelvin to Fahrenheit, you translate Kelvin to Celsius and Celsius to Fahrenheit.

Kelvin to Celsius is Temp in Kelvin minus 273

So 180-273 goes to -93 Celsius.

Then use the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion: Multiply by 9, then divide by 5, then add 32

$$\frac{ -93*9 }{ 5 }+32$$

You are so kind to help me out. I can never thank you enough! A medal is in order!

Well, that's not true, you can go from fahrenheit to kelvin no problem.

anonymous · Answer

Here, you can find the rate of change, which is linear. Change in fahrenheit / change in kelvin.
$$\Delta F / \Delta K$$

Here you'll find the rate at which the linear equation changes. You can use the fact that absolute 0K = -459.67F to find the constant.
